Bernard Chandran seemed to have rediscovered his geometry set for his S/S '09 collection.
Influenced by the pop culture of the east, his designs took on bold and geometrical shapes, that experimented with curves and angular cuts; in both long and short dresses.
Flamboyant and experimental, his eveningwear collection played with 3D distorted rectangles, triangles and voluminous semi-circles on: collars, pockets, shoulders and sleeves; to give his dresses their unusual shapes.
Finished off with metal studs and crystals (to accentuate his design dimensions and chosen fabric textures), the collection succeeded in dispelling the predictable characteristics of East-Asia designs.
Prominent Colours: Black, Bronze, Champagne, Fuchsia, Gold, Orange, Putty, Royal Blue, Silver, White, Yellow
Fabrics/Patterns: Lace, Pure Silk, Shantung Silk/Embellishments Sequins

Bora Aksu held onto the Victoriana trend of last season for S/S '09, with a collection steeped in high frill collars, pretty bow blouses, puff sleeves and hems.
Throwing in a peasant bonnet to top off some of his dresses — and shrouding others with sugary coloured organza capes — the overall look was reminiscent of the China dolls bought for titled girls born of the era.
Prominent Colours: Black, Green, Grey, Lilac, Pale Pink, Taupe, White, Yellow

The ghost of A/W'08 gothic trend was the essential theme to Inbar Spector S/S '09 collection.
Refusing to rely on the effervescent bright colours and floral patterns (usually associated with summer), the designer — instead — chose to rely on convoluted puff ball shrugs and skirts to counter the austere edge of a very dark collection.
Drapes, bondage, zips, backless jackets and contrasting lace (embellished with subtle sequins); provided the accents on dresses, tight pvc trousers, and tulle skirts.
With the only light coming from a finalé white tulle confectionary dress and some pearlescent blue separates in between, Inbar Spector took summer dressing to sombre depths.
Prominent Colours: Black, Pearlescent Sky Blue
Fabrics/Patterns: Lace, PVC, Tulle, Wet Look Fabrics
